IKEA South Philadelphia Events & Activities

Join our Good Cause Campaign, Let’s Play for Change, which highlights the benefits of play for all Children.

For every children’s book and toy sold through November 20 - December 24, 2016, the IKEA Foundation will make a donation of €1 to projects in some of the poorest communities in the world.

Give Twice: Purchase a children's book or toy and donate it by dropping the gift in our play house donation bin at the Exit and help us donate to the West Philadelphia Action for Early Learning Initiative for the holidays!

IKEA South Philadelphia Storytime Tuesday

Join us every Tuesday this summer for Storytime Tuesday’s! Our Smaland co-workers are excited to offer an hour of animated reading that will end with creative activities for the kids highlighting their favorite parts of the stories read!

Storytime Tuesday will take place in Smaland during the following times:
● 1:00pm - 2:00pm
● 4:00pm - 5:00pm

Sorry, no additional activities (ball-pit included) will take place during either Storytime session so we can all focus on the fun stories. See ya soon!

Solar panels installed

As part of our commitment to sustainability, IKEA has installed a solar energy system atop this store. The 123,300 square foot array consists of a 1,008-kW system, built with approximately 4,200 panels.

The IKEA Philadelphia solar program will produce approximately 1,220,700 kWh of clean electricity annually - the equivalent of reducing 842 tons of carbon dioxide, eliminating the emissions of 165 cars or powering 105 homes yearly.
